Do you think adding a water filter will add life to the tank?

I really don't know, but I have one to filter out the bad (chlorine) taste! You might as well have good tasting hot water and then you can split the line after the filter and filter a cold water source also.

Yes u could add it between the layered medium of filters or as substrate in the bottom. I have this filter and a whisper mini-power filter for a full 10 gallon tank

I would say no, no such thing as over filtration. My only issue I could see is the water flow is high for the tank so you would need to adjust the flow rate but other then that it should work great.

Yes. Some even replace the pre-filter with the old post filter and put a new filter in the post filter position - but I do not trust that. I want to protect the expensive membrane and we have horrible water anyways.

Yes but the pump is just plain weak, you know this if you see an increase in flow after each filter cleaning as I did. A couple tips: be sure you've not trapped air under the cover and try changing the height of the filter in relation to the tank water.

It would probably be great for that size tank. The instructions are worthless but even still it's not difficult to setup. It's a really good filter for the price

Yes that would be enough filter for your tank size. xp3 would be enough. I have had these filter for about 10 years now. Work well.

I think you will be happy with this filter. I am using one in my 200 gal fish tank I like it because 1. it is a good filter 2. It keeps the water oxygenated. ( lot's of bubbles ) :-) when I get my 75 gal tank ready I all ready have one for it.

Yes. This is to remove chlorine from the water, which is necessary before adding tap water to the tank. You can add as much salt as you want afterwards.

In this tank, I do about a half-tank change once a month for my betta and it works fine. I have a snail in there that helps keep up with the algae and a moss ball to clean the water, too. There's not an actual filter in this one, just an air stone that I haven't needed to change.

Maybe some fluid engineer could comment on this, but if you can pull water up a short tube that means water is being pulled through the filter. I have a 6 inch tube in an aquarium and that functions well.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

yes it would... you would probably need to clean the filter more often if you use a lot of air... that is a big tank and this is a small filter but it would work... personally I would get a bigger one if I had a 60 gallon tank...

Yes,... I've fill the onboard reserve tank using a hose and filter. You need to flush out the filter first beforehand though.

Depends which filters are in use...also whether you are adding tap water, or pond water...

Yep, that's what I did. The filter tube took up too much of the tank for me. I removed the entire filter assembly (the below-gravel part, the middle tube) and just use a small side-mounted filter, which is more than sufficient.

yes, most defiantly. I have to clean mine about every 6 months. Us a soft abrasive bush and water you should see a improvement right away. the filters are good for about 6 years.
